Daydreams are breaking out at the gavel store
That's why common sense ain't so common no more
We're all waiting to be told what to think
Maybe there's something in the water we drink
Cause it seems like we've been poisoned with hate
There's no common ground when no one thinks straight
Everybody's under so much stress
What can we do to fix all this mess?
They don't sell brains down at the gavel store
Even if they did, we're all too damn poor
No one can afford to pay attention
Maybe when dollars and cents ain't common
That's when common sense ain't coming no more
No more
Remember the basics we learned in school
Whatever happened to the golden rule?
When did we lose our sense of community?
We gotta work together, you and me
Cause it seems like we've been poisoned with hate
There's no common ground when no one thinks straight
No more
Never looking for the next shiny thing
No one cares, that's why I sing
They don't sell brains down at the apple store
Even if they did, we're all too damn poor
No one can afford to pay attention
Maybe when dollars and cents ain't coming
That's when common sense ain't coming no more
Maybe when dollars and cents ain't coming no more
Maybe when dollars and cents ain't coming no more
I'll see you next time.
